In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from other priority activities for the purposes of answering the Member's question.

City Renewal Authority and Suburban Land Agency—community engagement
(Question No 251)

Mr Coe asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 12 May 2017:

(1) Will the (a) City Renewal Authority and (b) Suburban Land Agency have programs similar to the Mingle initiative of the Land Development Agency; if so, provide an outline of the program for each entity, including the (a) minimum number of events to be held annually, (b) nature of the events, (c) budget allocated and (d) any other relevant information.

(2) Were any Mingle events scheduled after 1 July 2017; if so, provide an overview of each (a) event, (b) entity that will be managing the event and (c) budget of the event.

(3) How will the social media pages of the Land Development Agency and Mingle project be administered after 1 July 2017; if the pages will be administered by (a) the City Renewal Authority or the Suburban Land Agency, identify which pages will be administered by each entity or (b) members of the public, identify the criteria and process used to select a suitable private individual or group to take over responsibility for the page.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The City Renewal Authority and Suburban Land Agency Act 2017 establishes the community engagement responsibilities that rest with both the City Renewal Authority (CRA) and the Suburban Land Agency (SLA).

The CRA and SLA governing boards, working with their respective Chief Executive Officers, will be responsible for developing and implementing initiatives and/or other programs that respond to and meet these responsibilities.

(2) A number of potential initiatives delivered by the Mingle program were planned to run past 1 July 2017, as summarised below.

As planning for these potential initiatives is at an early stage, funding and budget have not yet been finalised.
